Reminders: When reporting staff data, use the name from the individual’s Social Security card. This will minimize discrepancies between districts when data is being reported for one individual by multiple districts. Do not create artificial Social Security Numbers (SSNs). Use the SSN from the individual’s Social Security card. All employees must have valid SSNs in order to be employed, so no SSN will be accepted if it contains alphabetic characters or too many strings of zeros. All licensed staff must have a valid SSN that goes with the File Number in the Teacher Licensing database. The file number is assigned when an application for licenses is received. If you did not include the File Number in the file upload, you must use the “Get File Number" feature in the application to populate that field for staff reported in licensed positions. This feature is accessible on the Main Menu. If the district reports an individual in a licensed position but the SSN does not match the Teacher Licensing database, the individual will display on the Report for Missing/Invalid Staff File Numbers. Be sure new staff members have requested their licenses in order to receive a file number. Salary and fringe benefits are no longer being collected for extracurricular duties. Report only the salary and fringe benefits from the contract for regular assignments types 0 and 1. Gender, race/ethnicity code, and year of birth are required for all records. The PI-1202 data your district uploads or creates will be validated and must be free of errors before it can be locked and submitted to the Department. You may validate your uploaded data at any time by clicking on the Validate button. Please note there are many reports available to assist you in double-checking your data, either by providing a list of errors or context in which to view the data submitted. Some examples, Statewide District Contacts, PI-1202 Average Salary Summary, Staff Without Experience and Draft Administrative Salary Report. The act of locking and submitting data signifies that the district accepts the data as valid and accurate.

Internet Application The Department of Public Instruction collects PI-1202 data using a web-based application on the Internet. The URL for accessing PI-1202 software is https://www2.dpi.state.wi.us/staff. Staff responsible for completing the PI-1202 are able to create records from the previous school year or use a file-upload process to load files. The staff and assignment records may then be modified as needed and additional records may be added. Reports are available to summarize and validate the district data.

Browser Versions For the PI-1202 software to work properly, use browsers that are W3C compatible: Internet Explorer (IE) 5.5 (or greater) or Netscape 6.0 (or greater). If you need to upgrade your Internet browser, contact your district's technical support team.

Technical Guide Overview The PI-1202 Fall Staff Reporting System facilitates the collection of agency staff demographic and assignment data. The PI-1202 Fall Staff Report data collection is a point-in-time collection. Report all staff members in public schools as of the 3rd Friday of September and include assignments for the entire year as known at that point in time. Prior to submitting the data make sure to delete records of those no longer employed; add records for new staff members; and update records appropriately. You should be reporting staff that are hired by your agency, or are contracted to provide services to your schools unless they are hired by another public school district, CESA, or CCDEB. If another public school district, CESA or CCDEB hires the individual, they should be reporting an assignment to reflect the FTE working for your agency and is verifiable by running the staff by work agency report. A data quality report is available to review staff by work location. New staff added to the Fall Staff report should show one year of local experience. Total experience should reflect the number of years of educational experience including the current school year. Be sure to update salary information and verify fringe benefit entries. Fringe benefits reported on the PI-1202 Fall Staff report are the total of all of those listed under Object 200 Employee Benefits in the Wisconsin Uniform Financial Accounting Requirements (WUFAR) Handbook. Information about WUFAR is available at http://sfs.dpi.wi.gov/files/sfs/pdf/Revision%20%2320.pdf Most teachers (position 53) should be reported at a school level, not a district level. Use a school number instead of the 0000, if at all possible. If you prepare a file to import your data, make sure that all teachers are reported at a school level from your source files. When data entry is complete, verify the data with the 'Validate Data' link and review the reports available on the 'Report Menu'. Once the data has been verified, 'Lock and Submit' the PI-1202 Fall Staff Report to the DPI. The successful ‘Lock and Submit’ process indicates that the district assures the data is valid and accurate.

General Instructions Main Menu The number of choices available on the main menu will change as sequential steps of the application are completed. Upon first entry to the Fall Staff Reporting System, the following menu will be displayed. Note that a link is 'grayed' when it is not available. **For an example, see the 'Lock and Submit' on the screen print below.

Once the 'District Contact Information' has been entered and saved, the associated link label will change to no longer read 'Please Update'.

Entering Staff Data Two options are available to enter fall staff report data. Data may be uploaded into the application in two text files (*.txt) or records may be created from the staff and assignment records on file at the DPI from the previous school year. The same method must be used for both staff and assignment records. It is not possible to upload a portion of the data and create the remaining data. Once the initial data has been loaded into the PI-1202 application, data can be added, edited or modified from the Staff & Assignment List. Upon first entry to the 'Upload or Create Records' Menu, the following menu will be displayed. If your agency plans to Upload Staff and Assignment Files, you will need to be familiar with these record structures.

Assignment Information continued Number of classes per core NCLB subject:

Per ESEA provisions, states are required to report the number and percentage of core academic classes taught by highly qualified teachers, disaggregated by low/high poverty schools. To comply with federal regulations, LEAs must provide in the PI-1202 report the specific number of classes, specifically core academic classes, taught by each teacher. For most teaching assignments this information can be derived based on the assignment code. DPI is unable to derive this data for special education assignments, and thus we need to collect that information for all special education teaching assignments.

Upon completing the assignment and answering all questions;

• Click 'Save' to save the assignment information and return to the 'Staff & Assignment List'.

• If the selected staff member has another assignment to add, click on 'Save and Add Assignment' to save the current assignment, and to get a new assignment screen.

Working School Code:

This is the four-digit code assigned by DPI for the location within the LEA where the assignment is performed. Working school code must be a valid school number for the “Working LEA”. A Working School Code of 0000 may be valid for this data element under certain circumstances, please refer to the table below. • Required for all staff being reported. • If the working LEA is not a 2R charter than the following position/assignment codes may be

reported with a Working School Code of 0000, only if the individual worked at more than five locations. DPI will be monitoring these cases closely and may rescind this waiver in the next reporting period:

Data Definitions continued:

Year of Birth: The four-digit year the staff person was born.

• Required for all staff being reported. • School Year minus Birth Year must be less than or equal to 99 and greater than or equal to 15.

Years of Experience in this LEA:

The number of years this person has been employed by this agency, to the nearest half year. The time reported should include time through the current school year. (DPI automatically adds one year to this field if records are being created from our database.)

• Must be equal to or greater than .5 and less than or equal to 99.5. • Required for staff with assignment type of codes of 0(Professional - Special Education) and

1(Professional - Regular Education). • May be left blank for subcontracted individuals and staff with assignment type of codes of:

Years of Experience - Total:

The number of years this person has been employed by any education agency, to the nearest half year. Private school experience as well as public should be included here. The time reported should include time through the current school year. (DPI automatically adds one year to this field if records are being created from our database.)

• Must be equal to or greater than .5 and less than or equal to 99.5. • Must be equal to or greater than Local Years of Experience. • Required for staff with assignment type of codes of 0(Professional - Special Education) and

Note: Both LEA and total years of experience are based on years of experience in education. This may overlap different positions. Example: four years as a teacher at district A and two years as a teacher at district B (B being the reporting district) and six years as a principal at district B would make local years of education experience eight and total experience twelve. This can be determined asking the Human Resources staff for this LEA, by reviewing the employee's personnel files, and/or by asking the employee.

Common Reporting Errors Duplicate staff records: If the same year, LEA and SSN appear on separate records within the upload, only the first record will be added. A message will be displayed upon completion of the upload process that there were multiple records for a single SSN in the file. Duplicate assignment records: If the same year, SSN, hiring agency, working agency, school, position and area appear on separate records, a message will be displayed upon completion of the upload process that there were multiple records for a single assignment. If a staff member holds the same assignment for different grades, all the grades should appear in a single assignment listing. Name Conflicts: If the name is different (first three letters of first or last name is different) than names with SAME SSN across ALL districts, there will be an error and the data cannot be locked. If there is a misspelling (first three letters are the same, but the rest is different) then it will result in a warning. Data can still be locked but it is recommended that data is corrected in the districts' records (on line and in their offices). Other staff errors: If race, gender or birth year are different for same SSN across districts, an error will be generated. These errors will have to be resolved before data can be locked. Assignment Records without corresponding Staff Records: Any assignments within that district which do not have a corresponding staff record will be deleted during the validation process. A message will appear upon completion of the validation process listing the SSN of the assignments that were deleted. Grade Levels: If grade levels checked are grade 7 or above, and the working school is a middle, junior high or high school, then assignment code 0050 is invalid.
